The 80-foot tall, 20-ton Norway Spruce just arrived from Vestal, New York via flatbed truck. The family who donated this year's tree, Jackie and Matt McGinley, posed alonside with their children, Zooey and Charlie.
Jackie McGinley drove the symbolic spike into the base of the tree before a huge crane moved the huge Norway Spruce into place.
